a force is work being applied to an object. the force of gravity is work being applied to you by gravity, it is what keeps you on earth. Thus, gravity is essentially pushing us down to earth and this "push" is a force.
If you want to know the details, the force due to gravity can actually be explained by a mathematical formula that follows: F = GMm/R²
F = the Force of gravity
G = the universal Gravitational constant (G = 6.67*10-11 N-m²/kg²)
M = the Mass of object #1 (mass of the earth = 5.9742 x 1024)
m = the mass of object #2 (yourself)
R = the distance (or Radius) between the 2 objects (and this is measured from the center of you to the center of the earth)
I know that is getting complicated, but that is the full answer.

What is acceleration due to gravity called?
Acceleration due to gravity means the force due to weight of an object which increases due to the gravitational pull of the earth.
What is the product of mass and force due to gravity?
The product of (mass) x (force) has no physical significance.The product of (mass) x (acceleration due to gravity) is the force due to gravity,which we usually call "weight".
How does force of gravity change as the mass increases?
The correct question if Force due to Gravity varies directly with mass. As mass increase the Force due to gravity increases linearly.
Measure of the force of attraction between objects due to gravity?
The measure of the force of attraction between objects due to gravity is WEIGHT. ^_^
What is the realashionship between the force of gravity and distance?
Force due to gravity is inversely related to the square of the distance.

The definition of mass of material falling rapidly due to the force of gravity best fits which science term?
Avalanche

The force due to gravity on an oblect?
weight
What is gravity defined as?
Gravity is a force of attraction between objects due to their mass.
What is gravity definition?
Gravity is the force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses.
What is a G?
a G is the force due to gravity. 2G would be twice the force due to gravity. Astronauts have to withstand multiple G when leaving the Earth's atmosphere.
When gravity acts on the mas of an object it causes the object to have what?
An object with mass that is suspended in a gravitational field will have what we call weight. Weight is the term we apply to the force on that object due to gravity.
